In an effort to protect our senior voters and upon the recommendation of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the Miami-Dade County Elections Department has moved voters who vote at senior residential facilities and do not reside there to alternate polling places for the March 17, 2020 Presidential Preference Primary Election.

The voters who reside at senior residential facilities can either vote in person at their precinct or cast their vote via Vote-by-Mail ballot. The voters who do not reside at senior residential facilities will be relocated to a new precinct.

As a reminder, hand sanitizer will be provided to voters upon check-in at all polling places. Additionally, there are bathrooms, with access to soap and water. All Early Voting and Election Day polling locations will have disposable gloves, disinfectant spray and wipes for staff.

We encourage voters to visit the Miami-Dade County COVID-19 website, www.miamidade.gov/coronavirus, which contains tips and resources for the entire community.
